Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
770 m (2526 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

  Description
Stob a' Bhealach an Sgriodain is the name given by some publications to a high point on the W ridge Meal Mor which happens to be 11m higher than the much more substantial Meall Mor.

This W ridge divides beyond Bealach an Sgroidain, with branches running NNW and SSW. To the E of Meall Mor (759m) there are two further ridges running NNE and SE, the latter connecting to Stob a' Chuir (717m).

Meall Mor is a remote peak requiring a long walk in from the A830 to the N or an even longer approach from the E via Cona Glen or Glen Scaddle.

Hazards you may encounter on Stob a' Bhealach an Sgriodain include
 Unbridged River to cross.
 Steep slopes on or near ascent routes.
 Crags on or near ascent routes.
 Crags near summit.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.
 Wind usually increases with altitude.
 Visibility can change markedly with cloud level.
 River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day.
